A novel high-efficiency transformerless buck-boost DC-DC converter is proposed in this paper. The presented converter voltage gain is higher than that of the conventional boost, buck-boost, CUK, SEPIC and ZETA converters, and high voltage gain can be obtained with a suitable duty cycle. The voltage stress across the power switch is low. Hence, the low on-state resistance of the power switch can be selected to decrease conduction loss of the switch and improve efficiency. The input current ripple in the presented converter is low. The principle of operation and the mathematical analyses of the proposed converter are explained. The validity of the presented converter is verified by the simulation results in PSCAD/EMTDC software and experimental results based on the prototype circuit with 250 W and 40 kHz.Although the flyback converter can obtain the high step-up voltage gain, the power switches suffer a voltage spike across the switches, and the converter efficiency is not high because of the reverserecovery problems and leakage inductor [10][11][12]. In [13,14], high voltage gain DC-DC converters with a coupled-inductor is proposed. The leakage inductance of the coupled inductor is so important that it cause high voltage spikes and adds the voltage stress. In [15], the switched capacitor method is used to obtain high step-up voltage gain. In [16], a high step-up bidirectional DC-DC converter with low voltage stress on the switch is proposed. In [17], a multi-input DC-DC converter is proposed to connect two power sources with a DC bus or load. The presented converter has high efficiency because of obtaining turn-on zero voltage switching (ZVS) of power switches. However, it requires a bidirectional port. In [18], a multi-port bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed for DC micro grid. An integrated three-phase transformer is utilized to enhance the voltage level and isolate low voltage side and high voltage side. Therefore, the number of power switches is high, and hence, two input sources require to share a common ground. In [19], a high conversion ratio bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed. However, this converter has five power switches which increase the conduction losses and the cost of the circuit and decrease the efficiency. In [20], a transformerless interleaved high step-down converter is proposed. But, in the presented converter, two power switches have been utilized, and the capacitors of the converter are suddenly charged. In [21], a buck-boost converter based on KY converter is proposed. In this converter, two main switches are used, and the voltage gain of the presented converter is 2D. In [22] a high step-up DC-DC converter based on ZETA converter is proposed. This converter has one power switch, and the energy of leakage inductor can be recycled. Hence, the efficiency is improved. In [23,24], transformerless high step-up DC-DC converters are proposed. In [25,26], transformerless buckboost DC-DC converter are proposed. In [27], a multi-output buck-boost DC/DC converter is proposed. This convert...
